Thank you for your suggestions. I was wondering if I should do Emory instead of Stony Brook and can add Stanford, Rosalind Franklin University in Chicago, Northwestern, Icahn, Yale, Wake Forest, Drexel, and George Washington.

Yes, you can do Emory instead of Stony Brook and add Stanford, Icahn, Northwestern and/or Wake. You will likely receive interviews to the list of schools provided and Rosalind Franklin, Drexel and George Washington are unlikely to offer anything that would make them worth applying to. It is best to keep your list to at most 35-37 schools even as a CA applicant.

Thank you. Also should I even apply to USF? Heard they require really high stats for out of state students and mine might not be that high.

517 is high enough. If you are comfortable sending an application to Northwestern or Stanford, then USF is a good idea as they have taken high OOS scorers in the past.

Thank you. Also should I apply to any DO schools?
